JONATHAN P. COLE, OF HARTFORD, (ENGLISH P. O.,) INDIANA.

IMPROVEMENT IN HOG-CHOLERA COMPOUNDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,863, dated August13, 1878; application filcd July 1, 1878.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JONATHAN P. COLE, of Hartford, (English P. O.,) inthe county of Crawford and State of Indiana, have invented a new andImproved Medical Compound for the Cure of Hog-Cholera, of which thefollowing is a specification:

The object of this invention is to furnish a compound which shall be auseful remedy for the treatment of hog-cholera; and it consists in thecombination of the Various ingredients in the proportions specified,viz: Bicarbonate of soda, two drains, lime, one pound; dry wood ashes,one pound; concentrated lye, four drams; asafetida, four drams; commonsoap, two pounds; sulphur, powdered, one dram.

The above ingredients are compounded by reducing to a powder and mixing,and are then placed in suitable packages for the user.

To administer the medicine to the hog it is only necessary to mix thedose (which consists of one ounce given twice a day) with the food.

When the hog refuses to take the medicine mixed with its food it will befound necessary to forcibly administer the compound in solution by theordinary method of drenching.

I am aware that potash, sulphur, and asafetida have before been combinedin a medical compound, as shown by Patent No. 180,012; but such I do notdesire to broadly claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-

The herein-described compound for the treatment of hog-cholera, composedof bicarbonate of soda, lime, wood ashes, concentrated lye, asafetida,soap, and sulphur, in about the proportions specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.

JONATHAN I. COLE.
